jwhitlock Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Just wondering. in the Celestial Kingdom can I wear my Levi Jeans and my boots and drive my pickup truck? They'd have to be white, and that would make you look like T. Buff. Thank You! Edited November 2, 2013 by jwhitlock Link to comment
Jazzdreamer Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Maybe we walk around without clothes in the celestial...? Link to comment
Brenda Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) I think you can wear whatever makes you happy. Happiness is key there. I've never liked the idea of robes either. Too much like wearing a nightgown all day which just seems too frumpy. I mean .... you can't run, hike, or ride a bike in a nightgown! Although ..... I could eat all the donuts I want and it'll never show ..... but then, you probably can't get fat there (!!!). And barefoot?? Nope. I need my running shoes.

Kenngo1969 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I rather think a certain level of modesty will be the norm. As for me, I think I'll defer worrying/wondering about what I might wear until I actually get there (which, in some respects, will be a wide bridge to cross!) Link to comment
Jazzdreamer Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Ahh but my question is we were previously innocent before the great fall..will we become as such again? Link to comment
rodheadlee Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Ahh but my question is we were previously innocent before the great fall..will we become as such again?I don't think so. The sum total of our experiences and how we thought, acted and what we learned from them are who we are. Link to comment

Kenngo1969 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Ahh but my question is we were previously innocent before the great fall..will we become as such again?I wonder if innocence and the possession of knowledge aren't mutually exclusive. My instincts would tell me that yes, they are. As I understand the Plan of Salvation, we don't pass through yet another veil before entering the Celestial Kingdom, and that tells me that, yes, we take the knowledge we gain here (as well as that which is gained during immortality before receiving our final inheritance) with us. I think Joseph Smith's visions are instructive. For example, he described what Moroni was wearing in reasonable detail. While the link which follows doesn't address the "innocence-versus-acquisition-of-knowledge" dichotomy directly, it does do so indirectly: http://www.mormonbeliefs.org/mormon_beliefs/open-scripture/mormon-scriptures-the-pearl-of-great-price/what-the-pearl-of-great-price-says-about-the-fall-of-adam.

jkwilliams Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I hear that in the telestial kingdom we'll be forced to wear short shorts with black socks and Utah Ute t-shirts. I'll let you know when I get there. Link to comment

strappinglad Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Kenngo , why is your 2 cents now worth 15 cents? Inflation? Maybe it's just taking after your waistline( ref. the wide bridge ) Link to comment
pogi Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Just wondering. in the Celestial Kingdom can I wear my Levi Jeans and my boots and drive my pickup truck? I am going to be in my comfy cords, flip-flops and riding my scooter down the streets of gold wearing aviator goggles. Link to comment
JLHPROF Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Just wondering. in the Celestial Kingdom can I wear my Levi Jeans and my boots and drive my pickup truck? Well, I'm in luck since I love wearing white linen...so comfortable. But I actually don't believe we will only wear white forever. I believe that it is more correct for representing the garment of light, purity, truth, etc and it appropriate for temple settings. But I don't think it is the only color in heavenly clothing.

jkwilliams Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Makes you wonder what celestial clothing will be made of. Cotton, silk, and so on would be made of dead plants, so that would be out. I guess it will be all synthetics. Link to comment
Kenngo1969 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Kenngo , why is your 2 cents now worth 15 cents? Inflation? Maybe it's just taking after your waistline( ref. the wide bridge )Zero inserted following the decimal. Thanks for the heads up. (I always did suck at math! ) Link to comment
Calm Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I think Joseph Smith's visions are instructive. For example, he described what Moroni was wearing in reasonable detail. My memory is that he just reports a robe and not necessarily anything underneath that...anyone know specifics.. Personally I am thinking that heaven being what it is, we will be able to wear what we want but will likely vary it according to environment just as we do here. Perhaps we will have recreational times where we assume more 'mortal' characteristics and go riding in pickups or on horses (which I would love to do since I've never been able to really manage it in the here and now and probably won't ever now since the last time I got on a horse, my medications amost made me fall off). Prof, I love linen as well...I am going to get myself a linen cover for my comforter for Christmas. Link to comment
Calm Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Cotton, silk, and so on would be made of dead plants, so that would be out. Unless plants went through their entire cycle without actually dying (roots survive or like fruit trees). If only part of the plant is used, wouldn't that be like making something out of someone's cut off hair? Perhaps 'death' at the cellular level isn't death or perhaps death is only death for something that is self-aware and can understand the meaning of life and the lack of it. Link to comment
Sevenbak Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 My memory is that he just reports a robe and not necessarily anything underneath that...anyone know specifics.. A robe of unearthly whiteness, revealing a bare chest, naked arms and legs, a little above the wrists and ankles. Other than that, I don't think there were more specifics described. Perhaps it's the product of those heavenly silkworms created spiritually first... Link to comment
